Put On Your Easter Bonnet

My mother went to the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts in NYC when she was young. She wanted to become a professional actress but love and children stole her heart away from the stage.

Mom never thought twice about belting out a show tune on a whim. Sista and I were used to her breaking into "Oklahoma" while in the kitchen making dinner or "June Is Busting Out All Over" while folding laundry. She wasn't a quiet singer either, she would sing her lungs out like she was on Broadway. We thought every mother did that.

When we started having friends over, we found out that it was not the case. Our friends would be dumbfounded by the sudden burst of song that would trail through the house.

At Easter time, she loved to sing

In your Easter bonnet

With all the frills upon it,

You'll be the grandest lady in

the Easter Parade!

So Mom, this post is for you. I'm sure you're in heaven with a martini in one hand and Marlboro in the other, belting out this song with gusto!

This isn't my mother. Just a photo I found on Pinterest.

Loved this movie!

For all you young things, this is Jayne Mansfield. Guess what she was famous for!

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

Wow Kate, these take Eater bonnets to a whole new level:) So many beauties, I do love hats and wish they were more "in". Tell your mom I do the same, yes I am my own biggest fan of my singing but it doesn't stop me, lol.

Been away, back now but heading out again for 3 days, next week all goes back to normal so wishing you a HAPPY EASTER!

I am extremely inspired with your writing talents as neatly as with the structure for your blog. Is this a paid subject or did you customize it your self?Anyway stay up the excellent high quality writing, it is rare to peer a nice weblog like this one nowadays.
